1/ My mementos of Ferguson 2014 fit a small plastic bag near my desk. A taped-together DIY press pass (RIP RFT <3).

Bailey manages to confirm and deny his argument, explaining the *legal harm* of reducing teen births in Missouri is "fewer people."

My new favorite exorcism fact is one of the men tasked with the exorcism didn’t know he was even on his way to the exorcism. Pulled up completely unaware!!

"In many states, [the # of annual] abortions performed due to rape are in the single digits or, in some cases, zero.
One reason for that is because in many states, rape victims who want an abortion are required to report their assault to law enforcement." npr.org/2024/10/25/g-s1-2895…
